OK, let me give you a little background before the blow the Automated Cash Formula out of the water. The program costs $37 to join and you will receive a PDF e-book explaining step by step how to work the program and make a small fortune without having to really do any work.
I had a real problem with the sales pitch page:
Totally Eliminate The Hard Work To Making Money Online;Make You Hundreds Of Dollars A Day, Everyday, On Auto-Pilot…Using The Internet Without A Website, Selling Any Products Or Doing Any Marketing Whatsoever - Even If You’re Currently Flat Out Broke With No Time Or Energy To Spare.
OK, I know that I have said this before but I feel that I must say it again, you have to work if you want to earn money on the Internet. You don't get anything for free. If you are ready to work and ignore his claims, keep reading.
As an experienced Affiliate Marketer, the proof of earnings shown on his web site are BS. They are Clickbank screen shots and Clickbank does not offer sub-affiliates, which is what this whole program is about.
Basically, you research a niche and then recruit other people to promote products and make money and then you take a portion of their profits as your sub-affiliate. That is the easiest way to explain to the whole program.
In addition he claims that this is a new concept and it is not. Google the term sub-affiliate and you will learn all about it.
Do I think that this program can work you can make money online using, YES, but I am not willing to put the time and effort into it to prove that. You are going to have to work and find a good niche.
The positive points about the program is that the e-book is very well written, from finding a niche market to finding good sub-affiliates, it explain it all. I don't think that this program is scam, I think that it is not being advertised properly and that the average person that purchases it will not invest the time or resources to make it work, like me. :D
If you are interested in learning more about the program and you are ready to invest real time to make it work, click here.
When I became a mom, I started a quest for a "Work at Home" program that would allow me to stay at home. I decided to start this blog to share my experience so hopefully you can avoid the same mistakes and frustrations that I encountered. If you have a program that you would like me to buy before you do, or if you own a program that you would me to review, please e-mail me at: bytemi at gmail.com

Team Double Click - Freelance Data Entry
Team Double Click is a company that connects work at home individuals to the companies that need their support.

If it appears that you are a good fit they will contact you personally to discuss the opportunity.

AdSense vs. BidVertiser
If you are like me, one of the ways that you earn money online is by running a blog or a web site and having AdSense on the site. I found a nice site call BidVertiser, that will post ads on your site and pay you for displaying them and when I get clicks.
The biggest difference between AdSense and BidVertiser is that AdSense has a $100 minimum payout via check or direct deposit. Bidvertiser has a $10.00 minimum payout via paypal. I prefer to get paid via paypal, I don't have to go to the bank, I don't have give a company my private information like bank account numbers and stuff like that.
If you are looking to make money using a blog or web site, try BidVertiser, if it free to join and you can control the ads they show on your pages. Click below for more information

Top Secret Magic Code
The magic code is becoming one of the fasting growing ways for a website or blog owner to make money online. Just pay the $45.00 to get the 33 page e-book and they will tell you what the magic code is and then your web site will be making you money while you sleep.
As I have always said, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I found a number of reviews on the Internet before I purchased the product and all of them said how wonderful it was and well worth the money. The only problem that I found was nobody told me what it was. If you are going to do a review and tell me to buy it, tell me what it is first.
That is what I am here for I guess, here is the true story about the Top Secret Magic Code:
The first thing you need to know is that the magic code is not given to you in the ebook. It does however tell you how to obtain it. Basically the book explains how you can get advertisers to post ads on your web site and then pay you for it.
This is different than AdSense by Google because you actually have to get your readers to click on a link in order to make money. When you start getting advertisers, they pay you just to display their banner on your page. Some require a click thru rate and some do not.
Do I think that you can increase your web site revenue using this book? YES. Do I think that when I purchased it I was mislead? YES.
I am using the program and my revenue has increased. The e-book also explains how to get more traffic to your site and gives other useful hints. But it is not as easy as opening the book, getting some HTML code and BAM you start making money. You will have to work at it and tweak it a little if you want to see a return on your investment.

MLM Prospecting: Creating a Win-Win Outcome by: Liz Monte
About The Author
Liz Monte is particularly intrigued by new trends in network marketing that could potentially transform the industry's negative image and lead to the widespread acceptance of a kindler and gentler approach to direct marketing. She invites you to visit her website at http://www.wisenetworkmarketer.com
In any business endeavor, a win-win outcome is always the most satisfying and productive. It certainly beats the alternatives - win-lose, lose-win, or (heaven forbid!) lose-lose - in which one or both parties walks away feeling an assortment of negative emotions, possibly including disappointment, anger, resentment, and a desire to throw crockery against the wall.
What do we mean by win-win when it comes to finding new partners for our network marketing business?
For the prospector (you), a win probably means acquiring a new business partner with the following attributes: easy to work with, motivated, determined to succeed, reliable and accountable, upbeat, honest, hardworking, and so on. Of course, you would probably also want your recruit to have some free time and enough money to get started.
For the prospect... well, we really don't know what a win would be for her, do we? We could make an assumption and guess. We could assume that she just wants to make a lot of money. But what if we guess wrong? What if her heart's desire is to help people and make a difference in the world.
The only way we can know for sure what's going through our prospect's head is to talk with her -- ask questions, listen closely to the answers, ask more questions, and do a lot more listening.
One word of caution, though: When interviewing a prospect, it's very tempting to listen just until she mentions some problem your product or opportunity might help solve. And then... (sound of bugles) YOU'RE OFF AND RUNNING! Bending her ear about how wonderful your company is and how much she's going to LOVE what the products will do for her.
But telling why YOU think your opportunity is the greatest thing since sliced bread is not the goal. The goal is to reach a win-win outcome, and there's more to it than just presenting your favorite features and benefits and assuming that's what your prospect wants, too.
If you're truly dedicated to win-win, your goal is to reach a deep understanding of what a win would be for her and then honestly assessing whether or not your opportunity would create that.
If it's not a good fit, let it go. Thank her for her time and move on.
On the other hand, if you believe your opportunity is a match for her, go ahead and explain to her why you think so. Be sure to connect the dots between her specific problems and how your opportunity can address them.
Then she signs up, right?
Not quite. Actually, there's yet another critical step you both must take before reaching a win-win outcome.
Recently, I started reading a book that really gets into the whole win-win strategy, "The New Conceptual Selling" by Stephen E. Heiman and Diane Sanchez. (Although it was written mainly for business-to-business salespeople, most of the principles the book lays out are applicable to network marketers, too.)
It describes three stages of decision-making in the sales process.
Stage 1: The decision-maker (your prospect) comes to a better understanding of the situation she's facing. (This is where your question-answer dialogue helps her.)
Stage 2: The decision-maker explores her possible options and solutions. (This is that other critical step I mentioned, and it's where many network marketers falter.)
Stage 3: The decision-maker puts it all together and picks the best option for herself.
Why do I say that many MLMers falter in the second stage? The answer is that we naturally want OUR option to be the only one the prospect considers. But the person sitting before us must be free to consider ALL her choices, or her final decision will never be satisfying to her. (By the way, this is a common problem with many salespeople, not just network marketers.)
Plus, people know when they're being pushed or manipulated. Throughout this whole conversation, you've been creating rapport and building trust. If you suddenly start pitching your solution as the only one, your prospect will close up again before your very eyes. She might start talking about how she needs to think a few things over - and maybe she'll get back to you in a couple of weeks. Maybe. In other words, you just lost her.
Or if you do succeed in manipulating her into agreeing to your solution without giving her a chance to think about her other choices, she's likely to feel buyer's remorse down the road and secretly resent you for it forever. That's certainly no way to begin a healthy business relationship, is it?
If you want to play a positive role in your prospect's decision-making process and achieve your win-win goal, you must make it totally clear to her, both in your words and in your actions, that you support her right to explore all her different options.
The good news is, if you truly understand her situation and genuinely believe that your opportunity is her best solution, and if you have effectively communicated why you think that way, chances are pretty good that your prospect will end up agreeing with you. And then you will get to enjoy the most treasured of all outcomes.
Your new business relationship will be launched in an atmosphere of mutual respect and commitment, with the positive expectation that it will continue indefinitely. You and your prospect will each get what you want, and you'll both feel terrific about your decisions.

Cyber Fetch Web Submitter - Follow Up
A couple weeks ago I wrote an Article on Cyber Fetch and I just wanted to follow up and let everyone know how I am progressing with the software. As I said in my first review the first thing that the company does is send you a list of when to submit your ads to what site so you are not classified as a spammer. I decided to run a two experiments this week and see how my online earnings would grow or decrease:
Experiment I - Can I submit my affiliate web sites and get traffic and make sales without Pay Per Click?
The answer to the question is yes, I have seen an increase in my affiliate traffic. I was really surprised by that answer. Don't get me wrong, I have not made thousands of dollars with affiliate marketing and honestly I don't see how people do (if you make thousands of dollars with affiliate marketing as your method of earning money online, drop me a line, bytemi @ gmail.com, I would love to talk to you and feature you on this blog).
Experiment II - Does following his schedule of submitting sites really make difference?
Since I received the program my earnings from this site have sky rocketed, more traffic more money, it is great! I follow his schedule for the first 3 weeks of owning the software (this is after I purchased it not the free trial that he offers) and instead of averaging $1 to $2 a day, I started averaging $8 to $11 a day, which is good (see my side note below). This week I blow his schedule off, did not submit to the FAA sites or the Network sites and I wanted to see what would happen to my profits. I saw a slow decrease in my traffic and my earnings started to decrease as the week went on. Yesterday, at 9:00 pm, I was stuck at $1.70 which is where I sat since noon, yes I check my stats all day and review comments. So last night I figured that I had my answer and I submitted to the FAA sites and the Network sites out of hope of saving the day. Within 2 hours of making the submission I was up to $3.24 and this morning when I checked to see how I finished for the day I was up to $6.40 and I have already earned $2.67 today and it is only 7:30 in the morning. So I have to say that Yes Cyber Fetch works and getting your site traffic and helping you earn money on the Internet as long as you follow the plan that he e-mails to you.
Side Note: If I have learned anything over the last year of working on this blog it is that if you can average $10 a day you are doing a great job in marketing your site and it is time to start another blog. People that blog for a living do not just have one great money site, they have a lot of good sites that all add up to something great.

Create Multiple Streams of Online Income by Tim Knox
When I first started looking to work at home, I kept coming across the same term over and over again "create multiple streams of income" but I never truly understood it.
I now understand that creating multiple streams of income means to have a lot of different ways of earning money online. I participate in paid to read, paid to surf, I dabble in affiliate marketing, AdSense and I have a referral program to multiple different sites. All of these things together create a multiple stream of income.
However, if you are like me, when I first started out, you are thinking great idea but how do I make it happen? This book by Tim Knox was brought to my attention by a friend of mine and I think it explains the multiple streams of income very well (you can find the book by click here).
The suggested retail price of he book is $9.99 however since I found it for free on the Internet I am sharing it for free. The author includes his e-mail address and his web sites if you have any questions.
